Restaurant Quality Black and Bleu Burgers
I dare say, that hot dogs and hamburgers like these black and bleu burgers, are tied for the number one spot of all- time Summer grilling favorites. In backyards all over our country, home chefs are hard at work, developing their own special techniques for cooking the perfect burger. Burgers can be done every way you can imagine, and quite a few you probably can't. Imagine, that is. The sky's the limit with mix-ins and seasoning variations.
Black and Bleu Burger with Caramelized Onions
- Mix the burgers up in advance and let them chill for a bit to allow the flavors to marry.
- You can grill these burgers over gas, charcoal or on a grill pan indoors. The same cooking time applies, and you can always utilize an instant read thermometer to cook to your desired level of doneness.
- You may enjoy a drizzle of Special Burger Sauce to take these burgers to another level.
